CEGUI::Singleton inheritence

[Sotai]

Hi, I'm part in a team that's developing a game the uses CEGUI. And I noticed that the class CEGUI::Singleton class existed and I thought it would be neat if i could use that. But is it possible to inherit this class from the libraries and not the sourcec version of CEGUI, because I get some odd linker errors. Here my class definition code:

Code: Select all

class gGUIManager : public CEGUI::Singleton<gGUIManager>
{
private:
   static gGUIManager guiMgr;

   CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer *renderer;
   CEGUI::Window *rootWnd;
   CEGUI::WindowManager *wndMgr;
   bool initialized;

public:
   gGUIManager(int w, int h);
};


Heres the contructor code:

Code: Select all

gGUIManager::gGUIManager(int w, int h)
{
   static_cast<gGUIManager*>(this->ms_Singleton)->renderer =
      new CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer(0, w, h);
   new CEGUI::System(static_cast<gGUIManager*>(this->ms_Singleton)->renderer);

   static_cast<gGUIManager*>(this->ms_Singleton)->wndMgr = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingletonPtr();
}


Heres the errors:

Code: Select all

Error   1   error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) protected: static class gGUIManager * CEGUI::Singleton<class gGUIManager>::ms_Singleton" (__imp_?ms_Singleton@?$Singleton@VgGUIManager@@@CEGUI@@1PAVgGUIManager@@A)   release.obj

Are there some methods I need to override maybe?

Anyone have a clue?

A singleton template is really simple to write. I would suggest you do that instead.

But you're not using it correctly either. Take a look at the CEGUI sources and see what they do.

It's mostly involving the ms_Singleton member.
